I. OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND
A. Objective
The City of Fort Collins requests proposals from qualified property managers or program
operators to act as a Program Operator for an emergency non-congregate shelter for
temporary housing for persons experiencing homelessness (the “Tenant”) that are highly
susceptible to COVID-19 due to age or underlying medical condition and require
isolation but not hospitalization.
B. Background
Beginning in March 2020, the City and community partners, such as Homeward Alliance,
the Health District of Larimer County, Catholic Charities, Fort Collins Rescue Mission
and others, increased shelter capacity for persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) to
allow for physical distancing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the
number of people accommodated at the shelters provided by community partners
reduced by half their typical capacity, a congregate shelter was established at Northside
Aztlan Community Center (NACC) and an outdoor shelter was established at Old
Heritage Park for the duration of the Statewide Stay-at-Home order. The outdoor shelter
was closed on April 29. The congregate shelter at NACC will close on June 19, 2020.
The City wishes to providing temporary housing to PEH during this continuing pandemic
while recognizing the need to return the NACC to regular programing. The intent of this
RFP is to identify and award one contract for overseeing the operation of the non-
congregate shelter for the most susceptible PEH including those over 65 years old
and/or with underlying health conditions.
On June 12, 2020, the State of Colorado approved the City to establish an emergency,
non-congregate shelter (NCS) for temporary housing using up to 50 hotel rooms for
approximately 3 months. The hotel rooms will be used exclusively for PEH that are
highly susceptible to COVID-19 due to age or underlying medical condition and require
isolation but not hospitalization.
II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
A. Program Overview
The selected organization will provide oversight of the program at the hotel on behalf of
the City and its partners for persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) that are highly
susceptible to COVID-19. The City intends to contract with one (1) or two (2) hotels for
up to 50 total rooms for a period of 90 days or more.
The number of rooms required, and duration of the program may change as necessary
in the event the Statewide Emergency Declaration is extended. At this time, the City is
planning on the following estimated requirements:
- Month one – Up to 25 rooms
- Month two – Up to 50 rooms
- Month three – Up to 25 rooms
RFP 9154 Program Operator Non-Congregate Shelter Page 4 of 21
The City will lease rooms on an as required basis with the initial PEH Tenant(s) arriving
at the hotel in early to mid-July.
A Tenant for this program shall mean: (1) a single adult; (2) two adults, one of which
may include a care provider for the other; (3) one or two adults and their children. Pets
may also be allowed. Living quarters are for the exclusive use by Tenants for
quarantine and isolation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
B. Other Program Details
The City intends to hire a third-party individual, firm, or non-profit agency to be on-site at
the hotel to provide oversight of the Tenants (the “Program Operator”). The Program
Operator will be the Tenants primary point of contact for program oversight, health
screening, and Tenant logistics including food delivery and distribution.
The City also intends to hire a third-party firm to provide on-site security (the “Security
Service”). The Security Service will provide security, as needed, and their primary
responsibility is limited to safety and security of the Tenants. The Security Service will
also serve as a resource to the hotel for any Tenant matters related to safety and/or
security.
C. Program Operator Responsibilities
The Program Operator will be the Tenants primary point of contact for program
oversight, health screening, and Tenant logistics including food delivery and distribution.
The Program Operator will also be the primary point of contact for the hotel and security
service. The Program Operator will:
• Provide one or two onsite staff members for Tenant contact, communications,
services coordination, and support, 7 days/week.
• The Program Operator will be on-site at the hotel seven days per week for between 6
– 9 hours a day, at times published to the hotel, security service and Tenants.
Alternatively, a representative of the Program Operator may reside at the hotel for
the duration of the program.
• The Program Operator will provide on-site logistical support to Tenants of the non-
congregate shelter (NCS) to include resource referral and coordination.
• Service coordination shall include but not be limited to:

IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICES provided to the City of Fort Collins (the “City”) pursuant to
this Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Service Provider hereby acknowledges that it has been
informed that the City has established policies and procedures with regard to the handling of
confidential information and other sensitive materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and
collectively, regardless of nature, referred to as “information”) that are the property of and/or relate
to the City or its employees, customers or suppliers, which access is related to the performance
of services that the Service Provider has agreed to perform, the Service Provider hereby
acknowledges and agrees as follows:
That information that has or will come into its possession or knowledge in connection with the
performance of services for the City may be confidential and/or proprietary. The Service Provider
agrees to treat as confidential (a) all information that is owned by the City, or that relates to the
business of the City, or that is used by the City in carrying on business, and (b) all information
that is proprietary to a third party (including but not limited to customers and suppliers of the City).
The Service Provider shall not disclose any such information to any person not having a legitimate
need-to-know for purposes authorized by the City. Further, the Service Provider shall not use
such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself, or any third party, except as
specifically authorized by the City.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Service Provider understands that it shall have
no obligation under this Agreement with respect to information and material that (a) becomes
generally known to the public by publication or some means other than a breach of duty of this
Agreement, or (b) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed, provided that the
request for such disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that which is required.
In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Service Provider shall furnish a copy of this
Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and shall promptly advise
the City in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Service Provider ceases to perform services for the City, or the City so
requests for any reason, the Service Provider shall promptly return to the City any and all
information described hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or summaries (handwritten or
mechanically produced) thereof, in its possession or control or as to which it otherwise has
access.
The Service Provider understands and agrees that the City’s remedies at law for a breach of the
Service Provider’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be inadequate and that
the City shall, in the event of any such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including without
limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in addition to all
other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.

Non-Federal Entity Contracts under Federal Awards (the “Federal Terms and Conditions”). In
the event of a conflict in terms between the Agreement and Exhibit D, the terms stated in Exhibit
D shall take precedence and prevail.

Part 60, all contracts that meet the definition of “federally assisted construction contract” in 41
CFR Part 60-1.3 must include the equal opportunity clause provided under 41 CFR 60-1.4(b),
in accordance with Executive Order 11246, “Equal Employment Opportunity” (30 FR 12319),

(33 U.S.C. 1251-1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal awarding agency and the
